If the surface tension of a liquid is T, the gain in surface energy for an increase in liquid surface by A, is : (a) A2 T2  (b) A2 T (c) AT (d) AT−1 

Answer»

Correct option (c) AT

Explanation:

From the relation, the work done in increasing the surface area of a liquid by ΔA is given by 

W = TΔA 

Here : ΔA = A (at a certain temperature) 

So, gain in surface energy 

= work done W = TA = AT
